Question
elevator cabs A and B are connected
by a short cable and can be pulled upward or
lowered by the cable above cab A. Cab A has mass
1700 kg; cab B has mass 1300 kg.A 12.0 kg box of catnip
lies on the floor of cab A.The tension in the cable
connecting the cabs is 1.91 * 104 N.What is the magnitude
of the normal force on the box from the floor?
